Hi all,

I am thinking of trading my black ceramic SMP for the no date aluminum SMP. I would appreciate any insights on ownership from anyone that’s had the privilege of owning and wearing both models.

The draw for me is the small-wave dial and the (perhaps misguided) romantic idea of the aluminum bezel aging with the wearer.

I am curious about:

1. issues with legibility of the no-date variant at different angles given the domed sapphire crystal

2. whether the added thickness is meaningfully impactful

3. Bezel play in the aluminum bezel. A NTTD model I owned had a little back-play in the bezel that I didn’t love, but having tried others’ models, the bezel has been sharp.

Do we think that Daniel Craig will continue to be an Omega ambassador (akin to George Clooney) after a new actor has taken the role of James Bond?

I am of two minds on this. On one level, Daniel Craig has been an excellent ambassador for Omega beyond Bond. He sports Omega models in roles and appearances post-Bond, helps not-so-quietly tease new models, and overall represents a great face and love for the brand.

On the other hand, having both Daniel and the other Bond actor both be “Omega ambassadors” could create consumer confusion and redundancy as to who James Bond is portrayed by. For example, after Daniel replaced Pierce Brosnan for the role, I do not believe there was any further marketing with Pierce with Omega.
